I did some experimenting with custom textures in MTA a little while ago and at the moment, the support isn't that great in dp2. Right now they only seem to work with custom models (either a replacement like with a vehicle or an addition for custom-placed map objects.) I simply could not apply a custom texture to an existing map object through MTA as the function would always fail. While it is a neat idea, it's something that should wait until MTA has better support for it and, as Peter said, it has to be used sparingly since all clients will be downloading the files when they connect.
